Purely Belter


Purely Belter is a 2000 British comedy drama film directed by Mark Herman about two teenagers Chris Beattie and Greg McLane trying to get money, by any means necessary, in order to get season tickets for home games played by the FA Premier League football team Newcastle United.

The title is a Geordie dialect expression. Pure simply means very, and Belter or Belta means great or good. Despite it being based in Newcastle UponTyne and following Newcastle United F.C, the actual dialect phrase Pure Belter has been altered to Purely Belter to make it grammatically more conventional for a mainstream audience.The phrase is spoken several times in the film, first by Sewell when he and Gerry go skinny dipping after stealing Shearers car and later when they dream of the freedom they will have when they get money. ........
